So in other words, nothing you'd be able to find on Encyclopaedia Metallum (unless they also got classified as some genre without "core" in it)

Edit: just joking. Mostly. I am still pretty salty about the fact that their gatekeeping is denying Every Time I Die their rightful place among the metal greats

They’re also declining Lorna Shore from being added as well.

Looked up the site and it seems like they also don't have Between the Buried and Me or Protest the Hero so it seems like it's one of those "exclusionary to be pretentious and no other reason" kind of sites

They're great at finding new bands as long as the bands are properly "metal," but they arbitrarily exclude any genre that includes the term "core" which seems like a miss to me.

[–] Bourff@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

They have a pretty narrow definition of metal I don't always agree with (like cocktail and ball torture missing), but I'm sure glad it's not flooded with -core bands.

That's so stupid who the fuck can even begin to claim they're not metal
